This is Isaiah

Teller and I met Isaiah at a little antique shop.  Isaiah is actually a girl.  Her first owner didn't know that and so gave her a boy's name.

When you say, "Look pretty, Isaiah!" in that high-pitched voice birds love, 

she fluffs herself all up.  Yep, definitely a girl.

For Birches and Old Dogs

I got a new bird feeder. It was [very well] made in India.

Before the old birch is cut,
he will feed the birds for one more season.

PS: Title refers to this post.

First of the Season!

My mister saw the first hummingbird of the season this morning, looking in our windows as if to let us know it's time to put out the feeder.

Birds!

Chickadee

Cedar Waxwing

Killdeer

I was just scrolling thru albums and found these. Mister does nice work with the camera.

New Plates!

Delightful Day- And It's Still Early!

Oh hi! Were you wondering where I was yesterday? I bet you weren't- I'm not that important. I'm feelin' like Heloise today because I have a Helpful Hint: Our front walk is slickery. I don't wanna put salt there because of my sleeping beauties (perennials). And cat litter is just gross. But a few minutes ago, I had a lightbulb! Birdseed isn't slickery or bad for plants or gross. So I scattered lots of sunflower seeds out there. I know it won't last long because the birds will eat them, but that's okay cuz I love birds, especially my chickadees, and sunflower seeds are their favorite. So that is my Hint For the Day, kids. Make your sidewalks safe and feed the birds- prolly costs tuppence a day!

PS: That's me in the pic with one of my feathered friends here at the Barn. Well, it's my hand anyway.
